Fungi lack chloroplasts, which means they are unable to undergo photosynthesis as plants are. This means that while plants are typically autotrophs (producers), fungi are heterotrophs (consumers). Fungi have a cell wall of chitin instead of the cellulose that plants make. Fungi store energy as glycogen; plants store energy as starch. Fungi have a single, posteriorly oriented flagellum while plants have multiple flagella that are anteriorly oriented.
Fungi are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, while green plants are autotrophic and perform photosynthesis to make their own food. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis in green plants. Additionally, fungi have cell walls made of chitin, while green plants have cell walls made of cellulose.
Plants produce their own food through photosynthesis, while fungi must obtain nutrients from their environment. Plants have cell walls primarily made of cellulose, while fungi have cell walls made of chitin. Plants reproduce through seeds and spores, while fungi reproduce through spores.
Fungi are more closely related to animals than plants. They do share some similarity to plants, though. For example, plants and fungi are both able to synthesize the amino acid lysine (animals are not); however, fungi use the AAA pathway, and plants use the DAP pathway. Plants and fungi have cells walls. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, while fungal cell walls are made of chitin.
Fungi obtain nutrients by forming a symbiotic relationship with plants known as mycorrhizae. The fungi help plants absorb water and essential minerals, while the plants provide sugars and other organic compounds to the fungi. This mutually beneficial relationship allows both the fungi and the plants to thrive.
Plants differ from animals because they produce their own food through photosynthesis using chlorophyll, a process that animals cannot do. Fungi are heterotrophs that feed on organic matter, whereas plants are autotrophs and do not rely on external food sources for energy. Additionally, plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animals and fungi have cell walls made of chitin or are absent.
Fungi are heterotrophic, meaning they obtain nutrients by breaking down organic matter, while green plants are autotrophic and produce their own food through photosynthesis. Fungi do not contain chlorophyll, which is responsible for capturing sunlight energy in green plants. Additionally, fungi reproduce through spores, whereas green plants produce seeds for reproduction.

Fungi is part of the Eukarya domain... Having more than one cell, and having cells with a nucleus. If their size doesn't tell you how much they differ, then consider the fact that Fungi are decomposers, feeding off plant and animal life, and bacteria have uncountable ways of feeding. As an added note, Fungi are stationary. Bacteria can move around.

Fungi and plants are multicellular.
fungi & animals
Plants are eukaryotic autotrophs while fungi are eukaryotic heterotrophs.
Herbivore eat plants, fungi exclusively. Omnivore eat plants and/or fungi and meat.
Mutualism best fits the know traits of fungi and plants. The fungi provides soil nutrients to the plant and the plant provides food to the fungi.
fungi were once classified as plants.
Chloroplasts and the associated cellular components necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
